Weatherhead offers full-time and residency-based degree options for working professionals. Our disciplinary-based doctoral programs are available in the areas of accounting, information systems, marketing and organizational behavior. We also offer two residency-based doctoral degrees for managers: Doctor of Management and PhD in Designing Sustainable Systems. These programs are offered in smaller, intimate environments that provide students with interaction and collaboration with faculty members and other doctoral students. Interdisciplinary work and research are key components of our programs.
We are ambitious and rigorous and want to help students explore new innovative topics that will build strong scholarship and allow them to apply new research into practice.

The Weatherhead School of Management is different from other business schools. We are bold in our ideas, creative in our approach, and adaptive in our interactions within a changing business environment. We've enhanced traditional management education by integrating the fundamentals of business with ideas and practices that change individuals, organizations and societies. At Weatherhead, we develop leaders as good global citizens who innovate to create sustainable value.
